1686 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
1687 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
1688 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
1689 dh_install, which ...
1690 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
1691 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
1692 mess, as it uses debian/install.
1693 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
1694 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
1695 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
1696 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
1697 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
1698 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
1699 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
1700 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
1701 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
1702 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
1703 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
1704 other minor changes.
1705 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
1706 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
1707 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
1708 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
1709 course there's -X ..)
1710 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
1711 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
1712 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
1714 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
1715 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
1716 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
1717 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
1718 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

1762 * Thanks to Benjamin Drieu <benj@debian.org>, dh_installdocs -X now works.
1763 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings

1765 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
1766 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

1793 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
1795 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
1796 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
1797 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
1798 line, as well as in debian/rules.
1799 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
1800 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
1801 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
1802 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
1803 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
1804 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
1805 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
1806 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
1807 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
1808 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
1809 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
1810 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
1812 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

1830 postinst will avoid running program that arn't available. Closes: #131053
1831 - Use update-fonts-dir instead of handling encodings ourselves. Yay!
1832 - Pass only the last component of the directory name to

1845 debhelper (3.4.0) unstable; urgency=low
1847 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
1848 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
1849 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
1850 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
1851 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
1852 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
1853 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
1854 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
1855 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

2034 data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged
2035 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
2036 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
2037 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
2038 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
2039 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
2040 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
2041 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!

2061 debhelper (3.0.27) unstable; urgency=low
2063 * Fixed issues with extended parameters to dh_gencontrol including spaces
2064 and quotes. This was some histirical cruft that deals with splitting up
2065 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
2066 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
2067 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
2068 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
2069 program those options go to. So, for example,
2070 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
2071 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do
2072 something complex. Closes: #89311

2210 I hate this, and wish it wasn't necessary to make cross compiles for
2211 the hurd work. Closes: #88494
2212 * Now depends on debconf-utils for debconf-mergetemplates. Closes: #87321
2213 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
2214 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
2215 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
2216 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
2217 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
2218 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the
2219 change and packages don't need to update their build dependancies.
2220 Closes: #88464, #77743
2221 * Test for init scripts before running them, since they are conffiles and
2222 the admin may have removed them for some reason, and policy wants
2223 us to deal with that gracefully.

2273 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
2275 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
2276 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
2277 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
2278 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
2279 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
2280 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
2281 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
2282 but is mildly deprecated.
2283 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
2284 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
2285 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
2286 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
2287 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
2288 switching to statoverrides..
2289 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
2290 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
2291 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
2292 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
2293 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
2294 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
2296 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
2297 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
2298 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
2299 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
2300 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
2301 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
2302 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
2303 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
2304 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
2306 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
2307 variable names, pod man pages).
2308 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
2309 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
2310 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
2311 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
2312 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
2313 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
2314 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

2386 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
2387 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).
2388 * Made dh_suidmanager check to see if it would have done anything before.
2389 If so, it states that it is obsolete, and refer users to the man
2390 page, which now explains the situation, and then aborts the build.

2480 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you

2482 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
2483 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
2485 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
2486 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
2487 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
2489 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
2491 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
2492 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
2493 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs

2535 * dh_makeshlibs: Also scan files named "*.so*", not just "*.so.*",
2536 but only if they are files. This should make it more usable with
2537 rather stupidly broken libraries like db3, which do not encode the
2538 major version in their filenames. However, it cannot guess the major
2539 version of such libraries, so -m must be used.

2551 * dh_movefiles: no longer does the symlink ordering hack, as
2552 this is supported by dpkg itself now. Added a dependancy on
2553 dpkg-dev >= 1.7.0 to make sure this doesn't break anything.
2554 * While I'm updating for dpkg 1.7.0, I removed the -ldirectory hack
2555 from dh_shlibdeps; dpkg-shlibdeps has its own much more brutal hack to
2556 make this work. The switch is ignored now for backwards compatability.

2730 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
2731 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
2732 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
2733 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
2734 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
2735 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
2736 notice until v2 is complete.
2737 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
2738 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
2739 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
2740 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
2741 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
2742 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
2744 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
2745 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
2746 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.
2747 * Moved all of the README into debhelper(1).

2869 dh_installwm now accepts --priority, and window manager packages should
2871 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads
2872 debian/<package>.wm too. This is a small behavior change; filenames
2873 specified on the command line no longer apply to all packages it acts
2874 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring

2958 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
2959 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
2960 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid

2971 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
2972 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
2973 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
2974 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100

3100 I made some changes, though:
3101 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
3102 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
3103 that is a clear violation of policy.
3104 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
3105 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
3106 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
3107 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
3108 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
3109 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
3110 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
3111 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
3112 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
3114 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

3282 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
3283 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
3284 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
3285 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
3286 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
3287 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
3288 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to

3564 * dh_installinit: applied patch from Yann Dirson <ydirson@multimania.com>
3565 to make it look for init.d scripts matching the --init-script parameter.
3566 This is only useful if, like Yann, you have packages that need to install
3567 more than 1 init script.

3610 * dh_fixperms: Do not use chmod/chown -R at all anymore, instead it uses
3611 the (slower) find then chown method. Necessary because the -R methods will
3612 happyily attempt to chown a dangling symlink, which makes them fail.

3627 This is an experimental change, one problem is if your man page isn't
3628 already gzip-9'd, it will be in violation of policy. (closes: #38673)

3674 generated before were wrong simetimes (#37774)
3675 * Started writing a regression test suite for debhelper. Currently covers
3676 only the above bugfix and a few more dh_link tests.

3782 compress such files caused gzip to fail and the whole command to fail.

3784 range of odd suffixes that gzip refuses to compress, including "_z" and

3997 * dh_fixperms: linux 2.1.x and 2.2.x differ from earlier versions in that
3998 they do not clear the suid bit on a file when the owner of that file

4081 I have looked and it doesn't seem this will actually affect any packages
4082 in debian. This is useful only if you want to use dh_installdocs and not
4083 dh_fixperms, and that's the only time this behavior change will have any
4084 effect, either. (#30118)

4220 ships suid to never be suid on your system, shipping it suid in the .deb
4221 will create a window where it is suid before suidmanager fixes it's
4222 permissions. This change should be transparent to users and developers.

4237 (as yet unreleased) xbase. Now a new dh_installwm program handles
4238 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
4239 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
4240 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
4241 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
4242 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
4243 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

4282 as additional command line arguments by all debhelper commands. This in
4283 useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all
4284 debhelper commands that will be run. If you use DH_OPTIONS, be sure to
4285 use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do
4286 things you don't want them to.

4608 * I'd like to thank Len Pikulski and Igor Grobman at nothinbut.net for
4609 providing me with free internet access on a moment's notice, so I could
4610 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
4611 past week. Thanks, guys!
4613 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
4614 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
4615 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
4616 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
4617 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
4618 would do in the same situation.
4619 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
4620 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
4622 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
4624 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
4625 permissions changed.
4626 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
4627 some people enjoy changing root's name.
4628 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
4629 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
4630 files are treated identically.
4631 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.
4632 * Minor man page fixes.
4633 * dh_compress: don't bomb out if usr/doc/<package> is empty. (#23054)

4644 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
4645 use -X multiple times, too.

5043 * dh_lib: don't expand text passed to doit() a second time. This fixes
5044 #15624, and hopefully doesn't break anything else.
5045 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
5046 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
5047 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
5048 * dh_makeshlibs, dh_md5sums, dh_installdebfiles, dh_du, dh_clean,
5049 dh_installdirs: don't pass complex commands to doit().

5069 * README: documented that $PACKAGE can be used in the arguments to some of
5070 the dh_* programs (#15497).
5071 * dh_du.1: no, this is not really the dh_md5sums man page (#15499).

5098 README.Debian is installed with the same name..)

5123 * examples/*: added source, diff targets that just print an error.
5124 * dh_clean: clean up more files - *.orig, *.rej, *.bak, .*.orig, .*.rej,
5125 .SUMS, TAGS, and empty files.
5126 * dh_lib: doit(): use eval on parameters, instead of directly running
5127 them. This lets me clean up several nasty areas where I had to echo the
5128 commands once, and then run them seperatly.

5187 debhelper (0.10) unstable; urgency=medium
5189 * dh_installdebfiles: fixed *bad* bug that messed up the names of all
5190 files installed into DEBIAN/ for multiple binary packages.
5191 * dh_md5sums: fixed another serious bug if dh_md5sums was used for
5192 multiple binary packages.
5193 * If you have made any multiple binary packages using debhelper, you
5194 should rebuild them with this version.
5195 * dh_md5sums: show cd commands in verbose mode.

5213 debhelper (0.7) unstable; urgency=low
5215 * Sped up some things by removing unnecesary for loops.
5216 * dh_installdocs: behavior modifcation: if there is a debian/TODO, it is
5217 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
5218 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
5219 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
5220 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
5221 debian/README.debian.
5222 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
5223 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
5224 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
5225 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
5226 in a few situations.)

5257 debhelper (0.2) unstable; urgency=low
5259 * Moved out of unstable, it still has rough edges and incomplete bits, but
5260 is ready for general use.
5261 * Added man pages for all commands.
5262 * Multiple binary package support.
5263 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,
5264 by group (arch or noarch), and by package name.
5265 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
5267 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
5268 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
5269 auto-installed as parameters.
5270 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
5272 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
5275 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
5276 the package build directory it is to act on.
5277 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
5278 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
5279 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
